What is Block Meeting?
BGIN Block Meetings are premier multi-stakeholder gatherings that bring together developers, regulators, businesses, academics, and civil society to advance blockchain governance frameworks.
These meetings establish a common platform for dialogue where diverse stakeholders who rarely collaborate can engage in meaningful discussions about identity, privacy, key management, and governance challenges in permissionless blockchain ecosystems.
Block Meetings drive concrete outcomes through working group sessions, critical project discussions, and collaborative problem-solving that shapes the future of blockchain technology.
Standards Development Practitioner Conference
Block Meetings are practitioner conferences that produce standards as deliverables. Through BGIN, we develop standards that serve as a critical stepping stone toward international standards—like ISO TC307—that governments and industry follow worldwide.
Why You Should Attend:
- Shape the future of blockchain governance alongside global leaders
- Network with regulators, developers, and industry experts from around the world
- Contribute to critical projects that address real-world blockchain challenges

The Agentic AI Working Group focuses on AI agent governance and security information sharing platforms. At Block 14, we will host the BGIN Agent Hack, where policy discussions turn into working software through agent-mediated standards and programmable governance.
BGIN Agent Hack
A focused hackathon where teams build and validate policy-to-code implementations. The Agent Hack will run in the Open Space throughout both days of Block 14.
Stablecoin Payment Initiative
Following the enactment of stablecoin regulations in Japan, the United States, and other jurisdictions, BGIN has decided to accept registration fees and event sponsor fees in stablecoins (USDC). This initiative represents a practical application of regulatory frameworks in real-world blockchain governance scenarios.
Trial Implementation at Block 14
At Block 14, BGIN will conduct a trial of accepting stablecoin payments in USDC for registration fees and sponsor contributions. This trial will provide valuable insights into the practical implementation of stablecoin-based payment systems in an international governance context.
Session: Practical Stablecoin Implementation Guide
The trial results, along with technical, operational, and regulatory-supervisory challenges, will be discussed in detail at the following session:
